My blog is basically about my travels through sewing land making quilts and tote bags and purses. I am learning as I go and willing to help others. I love to sew and love fabric. I am a retired school teacher. I have a store on ebay http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Fabric-for-quilts-and-more and I am the owner of a yahoo group called sewingtotebagsandpurses

New bag called "To - Go Bag"

On the cover of my new magazine called Threads is a delightful picture of the To-Go Bag.

Of course I had to make one.

I used Michael Miller fabric on the outside and Exclusively Quilting fabric on the inside and Michael Miller bias trim. The handles have rings attached and I used a magnetic closure.

There are pockets on the outside ends and none in the inside.

I had to read the pattern numerous times to understand how to make it and still was struggling, but I finished it and was pleased with it, even though I had the handles on incorrectly and had to repair alittle. lol

This bag is smaller than I like to carry but plenty big enough for all your purse needs.
